The real point should be if you have to rely on the

Death Index to tell you if someone is even alive or dead, you might
want to consider that you don't have enough reliable sources for an
article on that person.
I could imagine lots of situations where a person's life was closely
followed during a certain period, and then the person dropped into
obscurity, to the point where no one in the media even noticed his/her
death.
However, I agree that this person isn't one of them.
This article, and most of the other
Venona-cruft, should be deleted as there is almost no historical
context or solid biographical info for any of them, they are just
noting a mention in decryption XY4J7 and leaving it at that.
I agree emphatically with this, though I personally wouldn't have a
problem with a merge and redirect to [[List of Americans in the Venona
papers]].
